RAISING OF THE MAINE. It is not surprising that action to- ward raising the Maine inspires in the Spanish government a desire for further examination of the hull, says the Waterbury American. The Spanish court of inquiry in 1898 de- cided that the vessel’s destruction was caused by an internal explosion. ‘The American court of inquiry found that the explosion came from out- side. The latter decision caused the war with Spain, for it was the popular demand for revenge which made impossible the peaceful ad- justment of the Cuban situation. ‘The wreckage may be valueless asf]| evidence or it may tell a dramatic|| story—perhaps even the story of al colossal mistake.

Ach, Gott! at a new point, and on the same Hhursday), The spook appeared &a%or Thr VB Record, and said the now familiar words: “Standpatters spectacular cam. paign—money ready to buy papers— eastern barons to murder La Follette —Cannon, Ballinger, Wickersham, Hitchcock, Smoot, Aldrich coming— jackpots and stateto be Lorrimer- ized. Come quick and save, etc.” We have had canned beans, and canned music—even canned lectures; and now we are to have canned editorals ready for the use of lazy or empty headed weekly editors? you. newspaper Oh, Bob, Bob; you have lost your Hoards, and your Stouts, and your LeRoys, and your Hud- nalls—the soul and heart and brains of your cause, and but the third and fourth rate men abide with And that is why you must feed out to them the lessons they are to freshness that repeat to the public. It is shabby and pitful. canned goods there is As from all gone the gives relish; and there is left only a stale, flat and in- sipid taste.—State Journal. BY THE WAY H It takes a different kind of brain to write a want ad that will bring a job from the brand of throbbing intellect used to conduct a thesis. We are all ready to accept as final any statement we want to believe. A man can always enjoy a follow- ing if he only tells the people they are abused. No one can go straight without meeting all manner of obstructions. SOGIAL AND PERSONAL. Palmer sells stoves on weekly pay- ments. Nels Sneeze of Duluth-was regis- tered at the Markham yesterday.

There are two positions in life for you. You must follow your own. dictation. and be independent, or you must follow- the path. laid before you by some member - of the -old school and follow the old-rut, and mayhap still drive a delivery wagon. Knowing as we do that you: are to be inde- pendent is onr reason - for = addressing you. Listen and we will tell: you how to gain that independence. First, make your money-work for you. Second, save from the money that you-earn from the money that works for you. and make that work too. Third, save from the savings from the money that you earn from: the: money of that money that works for you and make-that work.also. Everyone knows:that very little can: be done from the interest ‘that one receives from the savings banks. Therefore a better means of i nt. _Somethingd that is safe yet earn- Somdon - = s And it is of this-that-we are about to: talk. Surely you won't care for a better investment than California Oil. Investors in the East derive the paltry sum of three and one-half cents on their hard-earned dollar for its use for one year, while the stock- holders in the same bank paying 3)% per cent to the depositors: receive no less than-140 per cent on their dollar invested in the stock of the bank, during the same-year. These figures are taken from the actual report - of the-directors ot one of the- wealthiest banks in New-York city, and any one who wishes to know the truth of it can easily enough-determine it on the commer- cial sheets: when the dividends are declared. And the dividends so deelared: are largely derived from money invested in California; more often than not in the oil industry of the so-called “Golden State. Being interested almost solely in oil, from which vast fortunes are realized yearly, we would like to make a statement of the rea- sons- why we believe ‘that oil offords today greater chanchs for gigantic, legitimate returns on investments than any other industry. In the first place, oil is the great fuel of the Pacific Coast. Two and - one-half :barrels of oil are the equal of one ton of coalin thermal-units. In otther words, the same amount of -heat can be obtained from 2! barrels of oil as can be obtained from one ton of coal. - But the differ- ence in price is very great. Coal, producing the same amount of heat per ton as 2% barrels of oil, costs anywhere from from $6 to $8 per ton wholesale. Two and one-half barrels of oil, figured at the market delivery price of = $1 per barrel, cost $2.50—a: saving of from $3.50 to $5.50 on every ton-of coal. displaced by oil. Under the circumstauces it would- be imposible thatTany 7other fuel could be¢ obtained which coulddisplace oil, and, such:lteing the:case, - we . have a guaranteed consumption:from: every. rail- road on the.coast.as long as tie oil fields -hold out.: ‘From government reports we may not ex- pect exhaustion until some fiture generation. Here is" the firmest kind of foundation upon which an-industry:could be:lad; an' absolutely assured consumption. The wheels of .industry.must turn, and. at the lowest possible cost, with the; cheapest utiliza- tion.of labor. This point, ecoromy is the utili- zation of labor, leads to the m:xt consideration, namely: money saved commerdal companies - in wages, which would: be necess¢ry-with the: use of any: othec fuel. i Experiments have demonstreted the fact that it costs four times as muchio load a car with coal asiit does tofill a tank or car with oil. Probably 75 tons-would be a-very -high-average car load of coal;- fifty tons:waild be-nearer to the-general average.. It:requites. two -tons. . of coal to:do the same work as ore - ton of oil.~ At this rate it hos_been figured sut that it would ol mtee wans UGS O A0 Ly iU o oo Suand 1 of oill" :So'much for-space. The advantages of :the-uses of oil - have:been 80 greatly appreciated:that within the last “very few.years, in Los. Angeles cointy alone, over 5,000 factories have adopted it. As coal con- sumers: they could not possibly have existed. In Northern : California - the -useofioil-is :be- coming more:and. more:: general. Flats,:: apart- ment houses,. homes, - business blocks,. hotels, factories, mills and .power houses -use oil for fuel.

A general demand is: being -felt i in all-of the fields for . enough. .0il .to. supply-the: foreign as well asithe home markets, Russia is a .large consumer of eils. Japan is reported to be about to remove the duty imposed over a'year-ago on our oil and by that means-to-fevive’a-very- fair- sized:foreign market.

Oil Company, recently in- formedithe writer that the high-grade light oils of Sumatra were cutting “into our Mongolian trade-very considerably ‘on- account:of their-mar- ket for it;: -but:the American: oil consumed by China is an enormous.quantity.

For four. thousand miles and more up and down::the Pacific Coast line California oil is transported and burned.

Pacific and Santa Fe Railroad Companies to the palmy isles of the *Orient, ‘more California- il is “carried for con- sumption.™ To be-financially interested- in the oil-bnsiness:is tohave an-added prestige: given _youlby,businese men.the world-over, andis just cruse for pride in one’s common sense. In the matter of intelligence used by those interested in the oil business, it was- recently said by a writer inthe Petroleum ‘World = (Lon- don)' that the greatest aggregation of:brains ever.got together . was. behind the oil industry. The constructive genius of the. officials of the ; great Standard Oil Company was held up and/ lauded, and " the business ‘methods of a: great British ‘enterprise' suffered - severely by com- parison. The richness.of the .industry in_ California is rarely appreciated by the outsider who carelessly reads an article like the presentone. 'There are several reasons for this;, among them: being +-the magnitude - of - the industry, the . millions <upon millions of ‘dollars invested: and the general INEBAILY: W, EraSP Whiat - hasmut-boon ceen —with the eyes.
